I'm Falling Apart

I’m falling apart from you
I don’t know how to give it up
All those mornings I saved for us
That I’m still holding on
I’m falling apart from you


The diamond dreams you showered on me
It felt like this world’s within my tiny squeeze
Your eyes got me down the stormy road
And for that one touch, I gave away all my glee
I’m going away from you
I’m falling apart from you


When I called out for you in the darkness
To bring on some sunshine and hold my hands
You turned away and left me growling
For all the lonely nights of despair
I am calling it game tonight
Saying goodbye to you,
I’m falling apart from you!




If Summer Ends

If summer ends…
I’d climb up the roofs and try to touch flying clouds
I’d ask the tress to swing around and dance with the wind

If summer ends…
I’d tell monsoon to stop by for a while
To give me those pearl some drops
That I can save to sprinkle for the later sun storm!

If summer ends…
I’d pour the raindrops in a tub
To bind the little castle in the sand I wish to dwell
And I’d then bid the monsoon a sweet good bye!

Then the winter arrives…
Cold and happy with the chilly breeze
With fogs and dew and snow with some haze

And my winter stays,
For the years and decades to come
It touches my soul and fills it with the bliss
The winter is the time of hope and happiness
The winter designs my existence chirping to the fullest!  


बादल घीर आए

Hey friends,

This is one of my recent attempts to pen down a Bandish (a composition in a Raag). We have the similar kind of song structure in Indian classical compositions. I have composed it using the notes of Raags Desh and Gaud Malhar, although the composition is not purely based on these Raags. I will share the full song with you all on Youtube as I complete the audio-video recordings. 



बादल घीर आए गरज गरज 
बैरी बरखा जाने न देत

तरसे जिया मोरा पिया के मिलन को, 
बीच डगरिया बिजुरी डरावे 
मानत पिया काहे ना 

मोर, पपीहरा सबद सुनावे,
सावन के घन मन को लुभाए 
मानत जिया काहे ना
